Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 12th instant, while we manufacture a range of Cathode Ray Oscillograph Apparatus, we are of the opinion that the only individual equipment which might meet your requirements is the Transient Recorder. This is illustrated and described in the enclosed booklet which we trust will give you a clear picture of the capabilities of the apparatus in question. We ourselves have not carried out any investigation such as you are interested in, so that we do not know the highest recording speeds you will be dealing with, but we believe that they are well within the range of this instrument, as indicated on page 9 of the booklet. The price of the Transient Recorder complete with camera, as illustrated, is £160. 0. 0. nett. We shall be very pleased to provide you with any further information you may require. Yours faithfully, STANDARD TELEPHONES AND CABLES LIMITED S. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} BUER, Chief Transmission Systems Engineer. B11/100/18. | ||
